Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., dinged Hillary Clinton during an MSNBC interview for refusing to speak with the press.
“It is hard for me to understand how you can run for president of the United States and not take questions,” Sanders said
The Vermont senator, who fiercely opposes Trans-Pacific Partnership deal currently being negotiated by the Obama administration, also took a shot at Clinton for not committing one way or the other.
“What is Hillary Clinton’s position on this Trans-Pacific Partnership? Apparently she has no position. She’s not for it. She’s not against it,” Sanders said. “It is hard for me to understand how any candidate, Hillary Clinton or anybody, cannot have a position on what is a major, major issue facing the American people. You are for it or against it but you got to have a position.”
Clinton is far and away the Democratic 2016 frontrunner.
Sanders, who for now appears to be the former secretary of state’s toughest opponent, will also compete against former Govs. Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island and Martin O’Malley of Maryland for the Democratic Party’s nomination.
Referring to the many questions surrounding the Clinton’s extremely lucrative and influential Clinton Foundation, Sanders added Friday, “I have concerns about anybody who is dependent on huge campaign contributors.”
